The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 54: I Want to Stay With You
"Lillian Rogers, the math department prodigy, is here.""Lillian Rogers is stunning, but her personality is so strange.""Do you think this new proof for Stokes’ theorem might be her work? Other than Lillian and the professors, I can’t think of anyone else in the math department who could’ve done it.""Who knows? She’s coming this way, so maybe we’ll find out soon."As the students whispered among themselves, a girl with black-rimmed glasses, clutching a stack of books to her chest, approached the notice board. Despite the glasses, they couldn’t mask the intelligence and sharpness in her eyes.As she neared, the crowd parted instinctively, allowing her a clear path to the board.Lillian Rogers stood motionless in front of the notice board, her eyes fixed on the handwritten proof, as if she were frozen in place.The crowd around her instinctively took a few steps back, creating some distance. Only a few elderly professors remained, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with her at the board."

"It’s a good thing we’re early?""Mr. Harris, is something the matter?"Joseph noticed the urgency in Harris’s tone and raised an eyebrow."Here’s the situation. Professor Leonard Sanchez from the medical department was supposed to give a lecture today. It’s a really important one for students in the field, especially for graduate students researching related topics.""But Professor Sanchez just informed us that something urgent came up, and he won’t be able to make it. I’m scrambling to find someone to fill in for him. The lecture is more than two hours long, but if we can get someone to cover the first hour, that would help.""Professor Sanchez will be back after an hour and can take over then."Geoffrey Harris looked visibly troubled."Couldn’t you just delay the lecture by an hour? Or reschedule it?"Joseph frowned slightly."Delaying isn’t an option. The medical students have other classes, and we can’t ask them to disrupt their entire schedule for this one lecture.""And resched
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 56: Mr. Wilson’s Presence: Our University’s Privilege
"Alright, don’t concern yourself too much with Mr. Wilson’s background. Just know that having him here is an honor for this university."Geoffrey Harris patted the assistant on the shoulder and then left the office.The assistant stood there, stunned by Harris’s words, unable to process what she had just heard.Nova University, Second Teaching Building, Room 302, Multimedia Classroom.At this moment, the large lecture hall, capable of seating hundreds, was already full."The assistant came by earlier to tell us that Old Mr. Sanchez had a last-minute emergency and won’t be able to make it. The president found a substitute teacher for us.""No way! I came here specifically for Professor Leonard Sanchez. My graduate thesis has hit a roadblock, and I really needed his guidance. What am I supposed to do now?""Why don’t you try asking the substitute?""Didn’t the assistant say the substitute teacher is young? How could he possibly compare to Professor Sanchez?""Is the university seriously

"My name is Joseph Wilson. The papers and research I’ve published are related to cutting-edge academic topics that most of you have yet to encounter.""Of course, if anyone is interested, you can search for my work in the top academic databases. My research spans fields such as biomedicine, nuclear physics, and financial economics, among others.""Now, I understand that words alone aren’t enough to earn your trust. I also realize that without your trust, it would be difficult for any of you to focus on the rest of today’s lecture."Joseph smiled as he spoke, his tone steady."Mr. Wilson, it’s not that we don’t trust you. It’s just that your credentials sound too extraordinary to be true.""Exactly. With Mr. Harris’s endorsement, we know we should trust you, and we will listen. But we’d really like to see if you’re as impressive as he says.""Yeah, Mr. Wilson, why don’t you show us what you’ve got?"The students became increasingly animated, their interest piqued.Seeing this, Fiona sm

"I don’t know, but I can certainly try."Joseph’s smile remained, offering no definitive answer."Mr. Wilson, I never realized you were such a braggart. I hadn’t noticed before."Fiona’s lips curled into a mocking smile.Joseph merely glanced at her, saying nothing."Why don’t you demonstrate for us, teacher? We’d love to see it.""Yes, teacher, you can’t just talk the talk!""Try it now, Mr. Wilson!""..."The students’ enthusiasm only grew."I can try, but please, everyone quiet down."Joseph agreed, and at once the room fell silent."Mr. Wilson, are you sure about this? Piercing a needle three centimeters into wood—that’s a lot of force. I’ve never seen anyone do it before.""Even if a needle has some rigidity, it’s hard to imagine it could be driven that deep into solid wood."Even Geoffrey Harris, who had been supportive of Joseph, now seemed skeptical."Those in the back, move forward a little; it’ll give you a better view.""Now, take a good look. These classroom desks are soli
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 59: Thoroughly Convinced
But the moment he finished speaking, the room plunged into awkward silence. No one moved. After all, they had just witnessed how Joseph’s needles could shatter solid wood...For a long moment, no one stepped forward."What, no volunteers?""In that case, I’ll have to randomly select someone."At those words, the atmosphere in the room grew tense in an instant.What was Mr. Wilson thinking? Was he serious about risking someone’s life?"You there, come be my target. You seemed to be enjoying yourself earlier."Joseph’s gaze swept across the room before settling on a young man with a dark complexion.As soon as Joseph spoke, a wave of snickers rippled through the classroom.The young man’s face darkened even more at Joseph’s words. Already dark-skinned, he now looked as though he might burst into tears."Mr. Wilson, surely you’ve made a mistake! I wasn’t laughing!"The young man’s voice trembled with unease."Are you certain? The needles I’m holding aren’t limited to just three."Joseph
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 60: Are You Mr. Wilson's Wife?
He turned to find a stranger approaching him."Why aren’t you in class? Is there something you need?"Geoffrey asked, puzzled."Mr. Harris, my name is Fiona. I’m a graduate student under Professor Sanchez, and I’m very confused right now."Fiona was slightly out of breath, clearly in a hurry."What’s troubling you? Perhaps I can help."Geoffrey nodded, indicating for her to continue."Mr. Harris, do you truly know who Joseph is?"Fiona’s expression was serious as she spoke."Are you suggesting you know Joseph better than I do?"Geoffrey raised an eyebrow, sensing something unusual in her words."Mr. Harris, I’m certain I know Joseph far better than you do."Fiona’s voice was resolute."Oh? And what makes you say that? If you truly know Joseph, then enlighten me—how well do you know Mr. Wilson?"Geoffrey’s curiosity was piqued. There seemed to be more to this than he had initially thought."Joseph is my husband. I know everything about him. Based on what I know, he has no qualification
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 61: A Fresh Perspective
Fiona stood there, momentarily stunned, unsure of how to respond."Fiona, if you truly want to understand Mr. Wilson, I’ll leave you with this: for most teachers, being hired by Nova University is a great honor. But for Joseph Wilson to teach here, it is Nova University that is honored."Geoffrey Harris exhaled slowly before delivering his final, solemn statement.Fiona stood rooted in place, her mind reeling from the weight of his words, unable to fully process what she had just heard."Fiona Cooper, instead of standing here questioning a man you clearly don’t know, perhaps it would be better to set aside your preconceptions and return to class. Listen carefully to what Mr. Wilson has to teach. This lesson might be more important than you realize.""And if you open your mind, you might just discover a very different Joseph Wilson—someone who is charismatic, knowledgeable, and far more remarkable than you ever imagined. Engaging with him is like being refreshed by a gentle spring bree

"Money? Do you think I lack money right now?""I work at Nova University, earning at least six figures a month, with the highest level of salary and benefits.""Even if my salary weren’t enough, my various research paper royalties bring in a substantial amount every month.""And if, one day, I decided I didn’t want to work anymore, the Morgan family would still shower me with wealth. And you think you can talk to me about money?""I have only one answer to your request—no amount of money can buy my willingness."Joseph cast a cold glance at Fiona. Was this woman out of her mind? At a time like this, she actually thought she could buy him off with money?Did she really believe that just because she had some wealth, she could do whatever she pleased?Fiona lowered her head at his words, remaining silent, utterly subdued.If this were the past, she would never have imagined that Joseph would dare to speak to her like this."I'm sorry. But... if anything does happen, please... save Grandp

Blake Morgan had likely been grinning ear to ear the moment he learned of Joseph’s expulsion from the Cooper family. He had probably even laughed in his sleep.Ungrateful descendants. Short-sighted fools. Arrogant and blind.Inwardly, old Mr. Cooper cursed Stephen Cooper and Maria Long a thousand times over.If those two were standing before him now, he wouldn’t hesitate to slap each of them across the face.Especially Maria Long—she was the one who held sway over the household. The divorce between Joseph and Fiona? There was no doubt in his mind—she had orchestrated the entire thing."Hahaha… Old Mr. Cooper, you must be joking. Your family may have cast Joseph aside, but we in the Morgan family certainly won’t! In our home, Joseph is treated with the highest regard.""A place to stay? That’s nothing. I could gift him several villas if he wanted. Money is trivial—but he refuses to accept my generosity.""In my household, nothing is off-limits to Joseph—not even my granddaughter. Of co

Seeing that Bruce Cooper’s condition had stabilized, Joseph carefully removed the remaining silver needles from his body. Bruce Cooper could already feel the improvement. Just moments ago, he had felt suffocated, as if something was blocking his airways. Had he not been able to release that tension, he feared he would not have survived the ordeal. But thanks to Joseph’s intervention, the breath he had been struggling to catch finally eased. There was no denying it—Joseph, like his master before him, was a physician of the highest caliber, a man of extraordinary skill. It was a pity that such a man, such a brilliant healer, would no longer have anything to do with the Cooper family. "You have my deepest gratitude, Joseph." Old Mr. Cooper expressed his appreciation once more. "You’re too kind, sir. This is simply my duty." "Heidi, fetch some paper, ink, and a brush. I’ll write a prescription for your grandfather." Now that his work was nearly done, Joseph turned to Heidi. "Go

"Years ago, he confided in me—he knew the Cooper family’s direct and collateral branches fought fiercely among themselves. But I never imagined you’d be so mad that you’d turn on your own kin. The old man had barely drawn his first breath after waking up, and you immediately hit him with the news that everything he built has been reduced to ruins." "If I were in his shoes, I wouldn’t just cough up blood. I’d be dead on the spot." Blake Morgan sneered, his words cutting through the air like a blade. "I…" Fiona opened her mouth to explain, but Blake Morgan cut her off before she could utter another word. "Enough. I’m not here to agitate him. I came for an important discussion with old Mr. Cooper and Joseph." Without sparing Fiona another glance, Blake Morgan bypassed her entirely, leading his entourage straight into the house. The servants hesitated, but without Fiona’s explicit orders—and given the intimidating presence of the bodyguards—they dared not intervene. Inside the gra

"Dr. Martin, you may leave now. Or are you waiting for the old man to break your legs?" The matriarch’s voice was cold as she glanced at Charles Martin, who stood frozen in place. "Uh… oh! Yes, of course! I’ll leave now!" Charles Martin stammered, snapping back to reality. He hurriedly prepared to leave. "Wait a moment, Dr. Martin." Richard Anderson suddenly called out. Charles Martin hesitated, turning back in confusion. He didn’t recall having any conflict with Richard Anderson. "Dr. Martin, I’m Mr. Anderson from Nova City’s Health Bureau. Based on your actions today, I have serious doubts about your medical ethics and professional integrity. We will launch an investigation and consider revoking your medical license." Richard Anderson’s voice was stern. "I—" Charles Martin opened his mouth but couldn’t find the words to defend himself. "You may leave now. If you have anything to say, take it up with the Health Bureau." Richard Anderson dismissed him coldly. Charles Mart

"Stop crying. Crying won’t solve anything. I need silence." Joseph’s voice was sharp, his patience worn thin by the sobbing. He cast a cold glance at Fiona, his tone carrying unmistakable authority. Fiona flinched at his words, quickly wiping her tears away. She dared not make another sound, merely standing aside, watching in silence. "Brother-in-law, if there’s anything you need me to do, just say the word." Heidi’s face was tense, but she remained composed compared to Fiona. Although old Mr. Cooper had coughed up a significant amount of blood, Heidi firmly believed that Joseph would have a way to handle it. "Find a fan—one that can be used manually. The old man needs air." Joseph issued his instructions with precision. "Got it." Without hesitation, Heidi hurried off to complete the task. "Dr. Wilson, old Mr. Cooper’s condition seems to be caused by an acute surge of blood pressure due to emotional distress. Is there anything we can do to assist?" Philip Anderson stepped f

But she quickly pushed aside her thoughts, shifting her full attention back to her grandfather.Under Joseph's careful guidance, the old man obediently swished the water in his mouth and spat it out. He repeated this process over a dozen times until all traces of the dark blood had been cleansed from his lips."Heidi, give him some water to drink," Joseph instructed.Seeing the old man’s condition gradually improving, Heidi carefully followed Joseph's directions, helping him sip the warm water.The old man drank slowly at first, his movements deliberate. But eventually, he finished the entire bowl.A subtle change took place.His once-dull eyes grew clearer, sharper—even tinged with something akin to authority."Cough… cough… Life is but a fleeting moment, like a white horse passing through a gap. Three years… It feels like I’ve just awoken from a long dream."His voice, though weak, carried a profound depth. He turned his gaze to Joseph, his expression warm with gratitude."My grands

"Is that it? I expected something more dramatic.""Not even a twitch. I thought this was supposed to be impressive?""Acupuncture has been tried before—it didn’t work then either."The room buzzed with subdued cynicism, skepticism evident in every hushed remark."Joseph, is that all? You don’t seem that remarkable after all," Charles Martin sneered, seizing the opportunity to mock him."What’s the rush? I still have one last needle," Joseph remarked, a faint smile playing at the corner of his lips as he picked up the final, larger needle.All eyes locked onto it.Philip Anderson and Leonard Sanchez tensed.Leonard simply sensed that something monumental was about to happen, while Philip Anderson recalled Joseph’s earlier words—he had mentioned that the final needle would stimulate the Mid-Spinal Acupoint.Was the moment finally here?Philip Anderson stared unblinkingly at Joseph’s hands, unwilling to miss even a second of what was to come.Then, in a decisive motion, Joseph drove the

"Hand me a set of standard silver needles," Joseph requested.Without hesitation, Richard Anderson complied."Professor Wilson, just focus on your work. I'll keep an eye on this guy—he has no medical knowledge, and I don’t want him messing up as your assistant. If I had known, I would have brought Lindsay along." Philip Anderson stood nearby, watching intently."I appreciate it, Mr. Anderson," Joseph said."Professor Wilson, let me assist you. I’m strong and steady—I won’t fumble," Leonard Sanchez offered enthusiastically.Joseph considered it for a moment and then nodded. Leonard Sanchez was indeed an experienced hand.The spectators found the scene increasingly perplexing. Both Philip Anderson and Leonard Sanchez—renowned experts and esteemed professors—were willing to assist Joseph? Just how skilled was this man?"Mr. Wilson, if I let go of the old man’s head, it’ll just drop down again. I can’t keep holding it like this forever," Alvarez remarked."Professor Sanchez, hand me a box
